My identity and self-worth were once inextricably linked to my career. Nothing would stand in the way of work. I travelled extensively, once moving countries with just a weekend’s notice, and worked six or even seven days a week - every week - for decades. I was always chasing the next promotion, the next big win, the next affirmation of my success; each one confirming that the missed family celebrations and dwindling list of friends was worth it...
Seven years on, the lasting impact of the Process is actively felt across my daily life. While the detail of the Process week is a little blurry now, one lightbulb moment stands out. In this unforgettable session, I visualised a flower garden on the side of a hill. In this warm place, there were rows of flowers, a simple little house and a river running through the garden. The idea of the flower farm was born.
It took me a while following the Process to join the dots and to make real life changes, but that was the starting point. I just needed to redefine what success looked like for me and that wasn’t in the form of a big salary and classic corporate job.
My life today is simple, but richer and more successful. My creative and emotional side has had room to grow and in writing my book, Secrets from the Flower Farm, my enduring need for intellectual challenge has been satisfied (for now)..!
